Windows 7: Installation Issues: Interface won't appear

Hi everyone,
I'm attempting to install Windows 7 x64 RC on my computer, and I have run into the exact same issue I had with the beta version of it. When I boot into the disk/usb(I tried both burning it to a disk and making a bootable usb drive), I get the "Windows is loading files" message, and the bar fills. Then I get the "Starting Windows" while the icon appears. After that, a blue background image(with like snowflakes or something on it, not just the BSoD) appears, along with the mouse cursor and the "thinking" circle. Eventually the "thinking" circle goes away, and I am left with just a cursor on a blue screen.

No interface appears to start the installation process. I hit shift+F10 to get the command prompt up, which worked, and I tried to run Setup.exe, but upon running it, nothing happens, I am stuck with just a cursor and a Blue background image.

If I try running the "Setup.exe" from the disk while booted into Windows XP, I get an "This is not a valid Win32 executable" error.

Has anybody had an issue like this before? I am very confused on what could be causing this. I don't think it could be my burner or USB configuration as I have installed 32bit Windows 7 beta on a different computer using the USB and it worked fine.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks

EDIT: Wow... I looked for an Installation specific forum and I didn't see one until after I posted. Sorry I missed it, feel free to move this.

Saw that problem myself. Just leave it at that screen, the menu eventually appears. Took 10-15 min for me. Very slow install after that, but 7 is running fine after install. I think my problem is related to the ASUS motherboard I am using.

Well that was it! I put the disk in, started my computer, went to go get some food and when I got back home the menu had finally loaded. Installation went slow but problem free and is completely installed now. Thanks a lot!
